[ARCHIVED THREAD] - What to do with a 20'' heavy barrel?

Posted: 10/2/2004 5:40:24 PM EDT

Is it worth sending my heavy barrel to ADCO to get contoured to a government profile under the handguards and adding a A2 flash hider? Or should I just buy a new barrel from Bushmaster?

Naaa.Just sell it to me cheap and buy a new barrel.

Keep this simple....

If the price of doing so is less than buying a new barrel.....then yes.

Buy a new barrel, but keep it heavy...

More accurate that way...

How about having your heavy barrel fluted. You know: "Great taste or less filling?" Or something lke that.

I had my heavy profile 20" barrel turned down under the handguards and I love it!

Just send it too me. It seems like its a real problem. I will be more than happy to take that problem off your hands for you so you don't have to be so stressed out about the decision.

I just recieved a very fast response from ADCO...I'll be sending it there for a new contour. Nothing gets my business more than great customer service!
